Information and Advice on Anti Aging Hair Care & Products
by Jennifer Summers
As we age, our hair produces less melanin, the same melanin
that gives our skin its colour. The most evident sign of
aging is the changing colour of our hair. This is the reason
our hair becomes grey. At any age grey hair can appear. It's
not always a sign of aging. It is caused by a decline in
pigment (grey hair) or a complete loss of pigment (white
hair). The cause for it is not fully understood.
Age also has an effect on our hair in other ways. As we get
older our hair is prone to getting drier, and so needs more
moisture than ever before. Older hair also loses some of its
elasticity and the texture alters. A number of women will
notice that their hair becomes thinner and lacks life, for
others it seems dry and coarse. This occurs because as we
age, the size of the hair follicles diminish and hair growth
slows. Consequently there is not so much new growth to
replace what we lose.
Sebum (oil produced naturally by our skin) lessens as we
age, and as a consequence our hair, therefore, lacks its
natural shine and softness. And our production of keratin
also slows during the menopause. This particular protein
fibre is a must in maintaining healthy, strong hair. Going
bald, having thinning hair and coarse hair is a subject that
affects many men, plus facial hair. To conceal your grey
hair opt for the right shade of hair colour. If you use a
dark colour it can draw attention to a dull complexion. So
do not use a colour more than a couple of tones darker or
lighter than your own hair colour.
Lowlights or highlights can conceal any grey you want to
disguise by merging them into the rest of your head of hair.
The same with hair colourants, stay away from going more
than a couple of shades lighter than your own hair colour.
That way you will not end up appearing older than you really
are. Grey hair can appear yellow or greenish on many people.
If you fancy keeping your grey hair, opt for using a hair
shampoo and conditioner that is made especially for grey
hair. To counteract the yellow colour and leave your hair
shiny and good-looking, why not use a greying shampoo that
has a violet base colour, instead of your everyday shampoo.
As the years go by your hair loses its elasticity and then
it becomes more difficult to style, so try opting for a
protein treatment to use once a month to support your hair.
For both women and men, thinning hair can be given a more
voluminous look by using volumizing products such as
conditioners and mousses. Apply a weekly deep conditioning
treatment - that is recommended for aging hair. Moisturizing
(conditioning) your hair is a necessity as we get older.
This will preserve the moisture levels in your hair. - 15668
